[Intro] N.C. Hey, every once in a few months when N.C. All the punches land Bm F#m Em Bm [Verse 1]
      Bm
Well, fuck last year, I’m glad it’s done

           F#m
And here’s three weak cheers, the next will be a better one

Em
Measuring my life in unanswered messages

Bm
Stressing all the little stuff, the thing that’s pathetic is:

  Bm
I haven’t slept sober in a long, long time

          F#m                                          Em
Because I start having arguments as soon as I close my eyes
Vicious fights, bitter and confusеd
        Bm                                A
And the dumbest part is, sometimеs I even lose

A
The will to start again

A7
And every day feels like an end
[Chorus 1]
    D          G    D        G      D
But hey, every once in a few months when

        A       Bm
All the punches land

     D          G  D     D     G   D
That day, I’m a tiger, a prize fighter

         A       Bm
At least worth a damn
[Verse 2]
Bm
Damnit, goddamn, I went and fucked it up

F#m
Every single day like a clock that’s stuck

     Em
It’s another fine morning rolling down in the muck

          Bm
I’ve been trying to look up and trying to find me some luck

Bm
Every sunrise the cycle starts again

          F#m
I’ve been walking into glass doors since 7am

Em
Trying to break the cycle, trying to make some new friends;

  Bm
I guess it would be easier than making amends

    A
And then I feel the buzz, the glow

A7
Of one sweet day a few months ago
[Chorus 1]
     D          G    D        G      D
When hey, every once in a few months when

        A       Bm
All the punches land

     D          G  D     D     G   D
That day, I’m a tiger, a prize fighter

         A       Bm
At least worth a damn

D          G    D        G      D
Hey, every once in a few months when

        A       Bm
All the punches land

     D          G  D     D     G   D
That day, I’m a tiger, a prize fighter

         A       Bm
At least worth a damn
[Bridge]
A                           Bm            G          A
   And I don’t want to be a beggar always asking for slack;

                           Bm              G                A
Gonna take the things they threw at me and throw them right back

                  Bm             G             A
I’m tired of only ever trying to do what I can;

                 Bm             G
The secret is to try and do the things that you can’t
[Verse 3]
D
I can’t promise that I’m going to be fine

         A
But I’ll throw my best punch every single time

G
Even though I’m skinny, don’t know how to fight

             Bm
I’ve got the makings of a champion every once in a while

D
Twenty four seven, three sixty five

    A
I'm holding up my head to keep the dream alive

   G
Of one perfect day when the stars align

    Bm
I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine

          A                 A7
I got the whole world in my sights
[Chorus 1]
    D
And hey, every once in a few months when
N.C All the punches land N.C That day, I’m a tiger, a prize fighter N.C At least worth a damn N.C Hey, every once in a few months when N.C All the punches land N.C That day, I’m a tiger, a prize fighter
N.C                            D
At least worth a motherfucking damn
[Chorus 2]
         G  D    D        G   D
Damn the haters, damn the doubters

   A       Bm      D
Today’s my special day

          G    D   D     G     D
You can’t stop me, can’t touch me

      A       Bm
Can’t take it away
[Chorus 1]
D          G    D        G      D
Hey, every once in a few months when

        A       Bm
All the punches land

     D          G  D     D     G   D
That day, I’m a tiger, a prize fighter

         A       Bm
At least worth a damn
